Absolutely breathtaking place! My first time driving through I seen a heard of maybe 30 or so buffalo and many calves. It was a sight I was looking forward to for a long time. Those animals are truly majestic. You don't get to see that everyday. It's a memory I'll cherish for the rest of my life

What a great place. We stayed at the Queen Elizabeth Territorial park campground. What a wonderful place. HUGE I MEAN HUGE!!?? pull through sites. The only drawback is not enough bathrooms. We drove around a lot and saw lots of Wood Buffalo. We even saw some calves. We saw golden eagles, martens, black bears one with a cub and a couple whooping cranes at the salt plains. The roads were fine. Worth the drive!

We drove down from Yellowknife for a 5 day tour of the south slave, the centre in Fort Smith was interesting, we drove down to Pine Lake Campground about an hour(s) south of Fort Smith. The campground was empty mid week allowing to choose the sweetest spot. More than enough free firewood, unlike NWT parks where you have to pay. Biggest laugh was my wife suggesting we snuggle in the tent just as forest firefighters strolled by after clearing trees. The lake has an awesome sand beach, Weather was not the nicest so we never made it into the lake. I understand it is much busier on the weekend than midweek.

The park ranges in elevation from 183 m (600 ft) at the Little Buffalo River to 945 m (3,100 ft) in the Caribou Mountains. The park headquarters is located in Fort Smith, with a smaller satellite office in Fort Chipewyan, Alberta. The park contains one of the world's largest fresh water deltas, the Peace-Athabasca Delta, formed by the Peace, Athabasca and Birch Rivers. It is also known for its karst sinkholes in the north-eastern section of the park. Alberta's largest springs (by volume, with an estimated discharge rate of eight cubic meters per second), Neon Lake Springs, are located in the Jackfish River drainage. Wood Buffalo is located directly north of the Athabasca Oil Sands. This area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for the biological diversity of the Peace-Athabasca Delta, one of the world's largest freshwater deltas, as well as the population of wild bison. On June 28, 2013, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada designated Wood Buffalo National Park as Canada's newest and the world's largest dark-sky preserve. Parks Canada claims that the designation will help preserve nighttime ecology for the park’s large populations of bats, night hawks and owls, as well as providing opportunities for visitors to experience the northern lights. The Wood Buffalo National Park had planned to celebrate the new designation with a Dark Sky Festival on August 23–25, 2013, featuring camping, astronomical presentations, a planetarium experience, and night sky viewing opportunities.
